save Our Trails - 1978 Jeep Cj 7 - Photo 13

One lady not afraid to wheel is Joan Beck, of the Bullhead 4 Wheelers. She’s been a member since 1989 and is currently the club secretary. She trailered her ’78 CJ-7 down to the Parker Desert Slash, where she is a regular. Beck’s an octogenarian that can outwheel most people we’ve seen on the trail, with a style and smoothness not normally seen. Her rig is fully capable from the ARB Air Lockers to the muffled small-block, and she’s not afraid to use it. This optional waterfall denied the Blue Whale and Beck, but she only needed her own winch to get over.
